Akira Sakata, Jim O'Rourke, Mette Rasmussen, Chris Corsano
Live at SuperDeluxe - Volume 1 (LP)
Tip! From the outset this ad hoc quartet hit the gas, launching into a frenzied, high-octane set with alto saxophonist Rasmussen engaging in a furious tightrope-walk of upper register screams while O’Rourke unspools some of the most gnarly guitar noise. The entire recording is a testament to refined listening. Even at the most scorching peaks each player is deftly attuned to one another’s sonic projections. Bridging generations, continents, and individual aesthetics, Rasmussen, Corsano, Sakata, and O’Rourke find common cause, convening for an evening of galvanic sound that’s simultaneously exhilarating and spiritual.
